Upgrading the BIOS by Using IFlash64

The BIOS is implemented as firmware that resides in the processor board and I/O riser flash ROMs.
Use the EFI (Extensible Firmware Interface) based utility IFlash64.EFI to upgrade the BIOS.
NOTES
Refer to information at the Intel Business Link (IBL) for the latest
information on upgrading the BIOS. If the user does not have access to the
IBL, contact your Intel Sales Representative.
After the user completes the Iflash64 BIOS update, the user must clear
CMOS. For information on how to clear CMOS, refer to "Clearing CMOS"
